My Weekend

I went on a hike up O'Malley Peak (
5184 ft ) which is across from Flattop. This is the most gorgeous lake ever. It was more glacial blue than in the picture.

This is the Ballpark or the Football Field. It is super open in a sort of valley. I hiked up to get here and then across it.

I climbed up a scree slope (lots of little rocks).

After a batch of false summits (you think you are on top, but you aren't), I thought I was at the highest point. Apparently, there is a sign but I didn't see it.

I rested and had lunch here with the most beautiful view of those two lakes. The clouds came in and I got totally lost. I had to pull out the iphone's compass to find West to head back to town. I eventually saw the powerline pass and got home.
